This was recorded in Rancho Deluxe NW2 in Sept, 2008. The idea was for it to be the theme for an ad' for a new, 'designer' gin - then the recession hit, and the company suddenly had no budget. So I was literally, left high & dry. Grr.

lyrics
High & Dry
We've been in and out...you and I.
So many sights and sounds and flowing tides
that have sometimes left us high and dry... high and dry.
The seven wonders... cast cares asunder,
then drift into the darker side of light,
Just you and I... high and dry.
Out of the dark. You and I, out of the dark,
where we can fly away on a magic carpet ride, you and I. High and, high and dry.
Out of the dark and into the night...
Move away from me I like it too much...
Don't look at me like that, I can't handle it... no... uh oh...
High and dry... yeah, yeah, yeah... you and I.
High and dry.
Out of the dark and into the night … hey!
Where we can fly away on a magic carpet ride, you and I.
So many sights and and sounds and flowing tides...
The seven wonders, the seven wonders...
